The Wire: HBO's Unrecognized Masterpiece Snubbed By The Emmys

Shockingly, despite being HBO’s best crime drama — and one of the greatest TV shows ever made — The Wire never won a single Emmy Award during its run. The Wire was arguably an even better crime show than The Sopranos, but, while The Sopranos won 21 Emmys, The Wire never won one; it barely even got any Emmy nominations.
